Retired Employees Urge University to Digitize Pension Claims
Some retired employees from Bharathidasan University are asking for a digital system for their pension claims.
Right now, they have to either go to the university in person or mail their important papers.
It's becoming difficult for some retired people to do this due to age or health problems.
They want to use a digital system, like the 'Jeevan Pramaan' program, to make things easier.
They hope this will make it simpler to get their pensions.
They also want to be able to teach at the university again, but as volunteers.
Retired faculties of Bharathidasan University want a digital portal for pension claims.
Currently, pensioners must submit Life Certificates in person or by post.
BURFA cited age-related issues and health problems as difficulties in the current process.
BURFA suggests linking pension accounts to the 'Jeevan Pramaan' program.
The association also requests opportunities for honorary teaching positions.
